The Worst Part

Several college acceptance decisions came out today which really made me realize what the toughest part of the college process is... In the beginning, applicants feel that writing the multitude of essays is the worst part. Then when FAFSA comes out in January, applicants are burdened with preparing tax information and processing terms they've never heard before. Now as they all wait to hear back from schools, they begin applying for scholarships. But in the end is choosing which school to attend. This, my friends, is the most difficult part of the college process. This onerous decision will determine your future for the next 4 or so years, then life after.

My advice to all you college applicants out there: choose wisely. Weigh the pros and cons, consider your family's financial status, and really think about the decision. Sure, there's always the possibility of transferring to another school, but in this case, the first time has to be the charm.
